Year 1

Term 4 Summary:

Year 1 Term 4

We’ve had another brilliant term in Year 1!

We have enjoyed Science Week this term. We went into each Year 1 classroom and did a different experiment. We also loved doing a workshop with Mr Rocket. Over the term, we have also been investigating different types of weather and made our very own wind vanes to see which direction the wind was blowing in.

At the beginning of this term, we wrote our own stories based on the story Pinocchio, and we created our own characters. We received a letter from the Easter Bunny in week 4, asking us to help him make some Easter cakes. We worked together to make the cakes then we wrote a letter back to him recounting how we made the cakes.

In history this term, we have been learning about toys from the past. We explored some of the old toys and noticed that a lot of the toys were made out of wood or some were made out of metal. We invited parents and grandparents into class to share some of the toys they used to play with when they were children.

As part of our DT curriculum, this term, we were learning about wheels and axles. We looked at different wheels and axles used on cars and vehicles. We then made our own peg cars with wheels and axles.
